They all stayed, and when Jim Hooker appeared five minutes later he received the surprise of his life.
CHAPTER VII.
SENSATIONAL WORK.
“Yale is weakening!”
“Brown will score!”
“That’s hot work!”
“Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!”
The spectators were excited. The college men were wild. The rooters of the Providence University were barking like a pack of foxes:
“’rah, ’rah, ’rah, ’rah, ’rah, ’rah!”
Yale was playing Brown on the gridiron of the latter team. It was near the end of the second half. The Providence men had played like fiends, but the sons of Old Eli were out to show what they could do, and they had scored 18 points, while the score of their opponents could still be designated by 0. But Brown was desperate now. Remembering its good work against Pennsylvania, it became furious in its efforts to score on Yale. It bucked the blue line savagely again and again, and each time it seemed that some of the New Haven men were left disabled and carried from the field.
